Based out of Arcadia, CA, "SNOW" was a heavy metal/hard rock foursome who stirred things up on the Los Angeles music scene from 1978-1981.
Comprised of Carlos Cavazo on guitar, Tony Cavazo on bass, Doug Ellison on lead vocals and Stephen Quadros on drums, Snow performed regularly at The Whiskey, The Starwood, The Troubadour, Golden West Ballroom, The Cuckoos Nest, Pookies and The Woodsound, along with headline shows at The Santa Monica Civic and The Pasadena Civic.
The group released a self-titled 5-song EP in 1980 that included popular Snow songs "Crack The Whip" and "No Way To Treat A Lady". Snow's music received radio airplay on KROQ and KLOS. The original Snow EP has become somewhat of a collectors item.
-Carlos Cavazo enjoyed platinum record selling success with "Quiet Riot" in the 1980s and now performs with "Ratt," "The Hollywood All Stars" and "Three Legged Dog."
-Tony Cavazo co-wrote the top 10 single "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)" ("Quiet Riot"), recorded and toured with "Hurricane" and currently plays with "Little George & The DUI's," "The Becky Curtis Band," Mike Pinera and "The Sacred Cowboys."
-Stephen Quadros has become internationally known as a television commentator in the mixed martial arts world for his work with Showtime Networks (ShoXC, EliteXC), Pride Fighting Championships, Cage Rage, and the International Fight League, among others. Quadros currently performs and records with "7th Sun," "Whipped Cream," "The Becky Curtis Band," "Little George & The DUI's" and Mike Pinera.
The brothers Cavazo and Quadros have started the SNOW engine again, with rehearsals underway and upcoming gigs and product releases scheduled for 2009. Stay tuned...
